Life
Fanny Hornischer was born on March 20, 1845 under the real name Franziska Bauer in Vienna. She had her first public appearance on October 18, 1868 in the hall at the large Zeisig in Burggasse 2 in Vienna's seventh district of Neubau , where she appeared as the successor to the famous Mansfeld . Here she won the sympathy of the audience , especially with the song Oh if it only stayed that way and then performed for years in various, mainly Viennese venues. Hornischer, described as an attractive and elegant appearance, did not have an extraordinary vocal talent, but was particularly noticeable because of her Viennese-folk presentation with often powerful punchlines with a certain sharpness. In addition to the song Oh if it only stayed that way, her repertoire also included songs like Ein Aufmischer von der Hornischer , Die Stelle, where I am mortal or Net nice, but good . At the height of her career she was invited to the first soirees in Vienna, but as she got older she had to be content with simpler locations. The two folk singers Wenzel Seidl ( the red Seidl ) and Jakob Binder ( the blade Binder ) belonged to their company for many years . Her texts were written by writers such as Gustav Schöpl and various others. After she retired from artistic life, she ran a candy store at Hofmühlgasse 21 in the sixth district of Mariahilf in Vienna . In contrast to many of her colleagues, she lived in reasonably secure circumstances and was able to live on the money earned in her shop until her death. On February 26, 1911, Fanny Hornischer, who was also considered a great benefactress of the poor, died at the age of 65 in the Empress Elisabeth Hospital in Huglgasse 1–3 in the 15th Viennese district of Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus .
